I stayed here because it used to be Deta by Marriott. After staying here, I can understand why it not any more. The breakfast, the room amenities or even the registration desk reminded me of a third rate hotel. Sorry for such a bad review. I was really disappointed.

There was only 1 staff member and was not at the counter when entering. Had to wait about 10 minutes for someone to check me in. They were pleasant and professional when they came to help. The hotel is beautiful. The room was clean and roomy . However, the hotel is definitely undergoing renovation with the new transition to a Marriott style. The safety latches need work and there was a leak in the bathroom sink so water ran all over the floor. Overall the place is clean, safe and quiet and pet friendly.
